Question

I want to read multiple line input. format of input is first line contains int as no. of lines followed by string lines. i tried with

while True:
    line = (raw_input().strip())
    if not line: break

    elif line.isdigit(): continue

    else:
        print line

it prints the string lines but shows run time error message

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "prog.py", line 2, in <module>
    line = (raw_input().strip())
EOFError: EOF when reading a line

Is it the right way to read input?
Why run time error?
I am new to python Please help me

You may get a EOFError if you terminate the program with an EOF (Ctrl-d in Linux, Ctrl-z in Windows).
You can catch the error with:

while True:
    try:
        line = (raw_input().strip())
    except EOFError:
        break
    if not line: break
